  • Graham, Shauno and Rocket Rod have the time of their lives at the Baghetti Homeland in central Arnhem Land - one of the most remote and stunning locations anywhere in Australia!
    Traditional owners Lazerus Murray and his family treat us to the best that the Top End has to offer. From crazy croc-infested swamps with mud that'll stop a big diesel in its tracks, to the deserted Cape Arnhem, and a camp-site that Graham's rated his favourite ever, there's more adventure in this DVD that the average city-slicker will fit into a lifetime!
    Shorty's back up and running, while some quick thinking from Shauno sees a great bit of bush mechanics keep the Dirty 30 on track to their final destination and avoid certain disaster.
    This is the Top End like you've never seen it before. 4WD Action -
    the only place you can explore Australia's most remote 4WD tracks without using a drop of diesel!

    As one of the oldest vids you goiys have posted, it is so good, the dynamic between you 2 makes it work, like old top gear, it's the chemistry and banter that make us not only want to be there, but gives us just a taste of it. Feels like we are riding w you and it leaves us wanting more. Been watching for a couple yrs now, I will watch as long as you 2 are hosting. Graham AND Shaun make this the best 4WD/travel story "In the world!"

Some truly amazing, remote and incredibly rough country. The beauty of this place cannot be explained or justified in any photo or video.

    I've been in swampy situations like that before. I run a 2000 Cherokee & I've run almost every mud tire on the market and I just bought the new 33/10.5/15 General Grabber X3, I've put about 6000 hwy/trail miles on them and they still look like new, I'd put them up against any other M/T tires, even against bigger sizes like 33/12.5/15, 35s, 36s. One of my friends runs 36/14.5/15 on his Cherokee and I was able to get through places he couldn't, not just because of the with but also because of sheer traction with the side bitters and deep lugs. Softer compound great for rocks & it still does awesome on the old blacktops or running 70mph down the interstate.
    I just come across your channel & I'm loving every minute so far. I really like the fact I can watch it with the kiddos without having to prewatch it first cus of language or other content not suitable for youngens. Awesome videos + it's family friendly.....

The NT Field Naturalist Group decided to do an "expedition". I had relatives in Nhulunbuy so it was two birds with one stone for me. We came back along the road closer to the coast and back to Darwin on the Arnhem Hwy. Took a couple of weeks.

The reality is now we have a mass migration of weekend warrior 4x4 enthusiast with no respect for the environment, driving off the tracks and leaving rubbish behind. The once quiet location is now a scene from Bondi beach in the middle of summer

    What a group of bloody legends! Hope to run into some of you on the tracks one day.

    Americans put a lot more emphasis on premium shocks and bumpstops like fox, king and icon. I like that aussies just deal with the rough ride lol.
